i understand that recently the latest-legends swap emails from cs have come with a warning that they could end at any moment. i’m wondering if there will be an official announcement when that happens? i’ve been hoarding cp/lt in an attempt to cover 3 5* from that pool, assuming swaps are still available… would hate to find out the policy has been stopped the day i do the pull and end up with 3 characters at 5/2/5 and 12 useless covers to sell.
so, will there be a warning before this policy changes? i’m sure quite a few people are in my situation and would like to know…
Highly unlikely. The policy wasn’t even known until it got passed around from a CS reply email, so I assume the same thing will happen when the policy changes.
They are currently working on something that is supposed to hasten the 5* acquisition rate. I think once that is implemented, they’ll stop with the cover swaps.
I’m going to start hoarding tokens and cp until I hear further. I’ve only been doing it for a few hours, but it’s already very tough for me! I have very little impulse control… 42 cp are staring at me in the face!!!
It gets easier the more you get. I’m up to 700 CP and 18 tokens… It helps to stockpile Taco tokens too, that way the amount of Legendary tokens is less obvious.
Considering the results I got from burning ~280
on the Black Panther thing, you should continue to resist your urges. If your luck is anything like mine (0 BP, 3 covers I can’t use) you will regret having bothered at all.
I am champing my remaining 3*'s, so no iso to level any 4*'s, so up to 15 lt’s and 382 cp. It was hard at first, but now it’s kinda fun. Only 3 more fully covered 3*'s to go, so maybe 3 weeks and I’ll get to open some.
Still waiting on my cs response to trading in my 6th black BW cover I pulled from latest. It’s been 2 days with no response. Ill update here when I get a yes or no.
I find it easier the more I get too. After a while the number stops registering and my brain just reads it as “a lot,” particularly once the token counter in the lower left just reads “99+.”
I had done something very similar. While I was working on champing my 3s (just have Hood, Thanos and Ragnarok left), I was also starting to get to the point where I was earning enough HP to keep more and more 4s that I would win through progression/placement/champ rewards on my roster. But it was just enough to keep pace and I didn’t want to open any tokens and then be faced with too many characters in my queue and not enough HP to roster them all.
I got up to 46 LTs and am currently sitting on 1277 CP, with LTs from the three aformentioned 3s plus Spider-Man and Punisher still coming. Within the past week or two I finally got to the point where I had enough HP in reserve that I started opening the LTs. Basically, I would get to 2000 HP and pulled until I opened a 4 I currently didn’t have rostered. That way I could roster the new character and still have 1000 HP in reserve for new characters/emergencies.
After pulling, I’m down to only three 4s not on my roster (Iceman, Star-Lord and Miles Morales). I suppose in hindsight, it probably would have been better to wait until 4 Captain Marvel was in the pool, but I still have that 1277 CP, so I might put off spending that for another week or so.
good to know… would an updating thread with people who have successfully swapped be a good idea? so at least we can know asap when they stop doing it…
i’m about 2 months away from my target pulls, currently at ~70% of the way. hope they keep it that long… or implement (or at least announce) the planned change to 5* acquisition.
My personal experience was it was hard the first few hundred, then it got a lot easier. Once I passed 1200-1300 somewhere it started getting harder again. I’m at around 1550 and probably going to blow my load this weekend.
5* transition is very obviously broken. I’ve started building my stockpile, but playing for months without any reward or forward momentum can get dreadfully dull. Honestly, I think it is what is going to finally break me. And it is demoralizing having drawn characters that have moved to classics, and CS being totally unwilling to help and unsympathetic. To see these characters in my roster and knowing completing them will only become more and more difficult, to the point of near impossibility, is depressing. We have long time vets now actively campaigning that people stay away from classics. How can the devs not take that as a sign that this is in dire need of immediate fix?
Yeah I hoard my taco tokens! Around 150 of savory, 250 of sweet. At some point, I’ll dig into it for a 4* I really want. For some reason that’s not as hard, because the prizes are good but not game changing (ie OML yellow lol).
Funny thing is I’m not in 5* land and don’t want to be. OML is at 5-5-1 so usable but my 0-5-5 Silver Surfer mocks me. Currently BW is at 3-5-5 and this is the first dupe on her.
I did get a response from CS and they are doing the swap for me.
